WOW! AWESOME!! I join you in the last statement.. altho I would NOT dive.. instead would tread lightly.. shells can be very SHARP!! oh but the images are just beautiful!! warm sandy hugs.. Loui♥
I'm right there with you as well. I have shells scattered throughout my home. I love the colors and textures - they are magical to me. Probably because I was born in and lived my whole life here in the desert!
When I was growing up in Sydney every house had a big old clam shell hanging about in the garden, and we were told dreadful stories of putting a foot down while diving, and being trapped...
Hello Dolfina! I love the images you shared with us, gosh I would love to see these shells in real life. thank you for popping in again on my blog! love Colette x
Great post Terri! I too love clam shells! Thanks for sharing all of these images. My favorite one is the huge shell on the console. I would plant succulents in it! Looking forward to meeting you soon.
Yes, I love the shells. I would love to have them all over my house...but my house is sooooo landlocked in Oklahoma that I just feel like decorating with shells is silly here. But if I lived even a few hours from the beach they'd be all over my house and yard. Did you ever see the photos of a fireplace mantel completely covered in shells? I think it was in Cottage Living a long time ago. I thought it was just over the top fabulous. Actually, I'm going to go look for that photo now.
Mmmm...Yum! I'm looking forward to dipping my tootsies in the sand...next week!!! I love shells and always have a few out, year 'round, to remind me of one of my most favorite places on earth. Happy Wednesday, Terri! xx Suzanne
I am a passionate treasure huntress addicted to "the thrill of the hunt." I pride myself on finding unique items and have spent a lifetime collecting unusual and interesting "treasures" which I have used in decorating our home. I shop with an eye for design and look for pieces that I like to call the "jewelry" of the room. Those pieces that have been around accumulating energy thereby bringing life into a space by telling its story or evoking a memory. The allure is found in the details of its journey... condition, provenance and patina. Our collected "treasures" tell the story of who we are. Billy Baldwin said it best, "Decorating is never successful unless it is personal." My treasures are available for purchase in my Etsy Shop and on my companion blog, Shop La Dolfina. The links can be accessed from my sidebar.
"All of life is about energy. It's about the energy that you're putting out; energy that you're drawing to yourself, every day, based on the way you think about your life & the actions that you take. Everybody is an energy field. And because of your attitude, your thinking, your actions; who you choose to be in the world, forms your own field. You are drawing into your field people who are like you... to remind you, to show you, to reflect back to you- who you are. Believe that or not, that is what is happening all the time... and it does not require your belief. It just is. It. Just. Is." -Oprah

Oh, so stunning! The nautical look is REALLY hard to pull off, in my opinion, these are put together so beautifully, they aren't cheesy, but chic! XO!
